Back Pain and Over-the-Counter Meds!!

Posted on March 3, 2017

Did you know that a study recently showed that NSAIDS, (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.) are no more effective than placebo for combating low back pain and other forms of spinal pain? In other words, these meds work no better than doing nothing. What is even more interesting is that 5-6 patients would have to take medications in order for just one person to achieve any meaningful benefit. Beyond that, these meds also can cause cardiovascular and GI issues. So if you are in the majority of those who do not benefit from these meds, visit your chiropractor for the pain,. Why wait?
